Cruisin' - Part 1

The Mister and I recently took our girls on a cruise to Bermuda. The Mister and I love cruises for many reasons. The top reason, though, is that it is technology-free. No iphones, ipads, computers, Real Housewives or Kardashians. Nope, just good old chattin'-it-up the old-fashioned-way with the family.

We were suppose to leave the house at 4 a.m. to catch a flight to Newark because our ship was leaving from Bayonne, NJ. Everybody was up, dressed, and ready to go, suitcases in hand; everyone except one person. The limo driver. Evidently, he decided to sleep in.

We switched to Plan B when we realized he was a no-show. We had three cars in the garage and one in the driveway and not one of them had enough gas to get to the airport. So we packed up the biggest car and headed to the nearest gas station.

Fortunately, we did make it to the airport on time and we also arrived at Newark on time.

Took a tour of our new home-away-from-home. I staked out my territory chair - front row center.

My first friend on the ship! Her presence was slimming...

My #2 starting the day with a little zumba.

Lovin' her zumba!!

Meanwhile... #1 catching some rays and dreaming of Adorable Jonathon.

This book wins the award for the most popular piece of literature. The funniest part was that the readers that we caught looked like they were the least likely to read this book.

Preppy Empty Nester

I'm Katie. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my middle-aged years while entangled in the never-ending process of renovating an antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, decorating, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, and my two untrainable, rambunctious pups, Chowdah and Chili.

Beautiful family! Love the picture of you and your Mister, and your daughters are just lovely. We have wonderful tech-free vacations too...once the initial 24 hour withdrawal passes...LOL. What is your favorite cruise line?
